PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced Patrick O'Neill, PPG global synthesis and pilot director, was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award from Paints and Coatings Industry (PCI) Magazine. This award recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the coatings industry and is presented at the Coatings Trends & Technologies Summit.

"At PPG, we're proud to develop industry-leading scientists that are able to translate advanced innovations into customer needs," said David Bem, PPG senior vice president, science and technology and chief technology officer. "Technologies that Patrick has invented and co-developed over nearly 30 years have had a positive impact on our customers across the automotive, packaging and industrial businesses."

O'Neill was recently inducted into the PPG Collegium, an association of longstanding leaders who have made significant technological contributions that support PPG's growth, innovation and sustainability. Most notably, he was the co-inventor of a patent for lead-free electrocoat technology, a water-based, cathodic epoxy coating that provides exceptional corrosion resistance and efficient material application for automotive and industrial applications. He also played a critical role in helping establish operations for the PPG-Kansai automotive coatings alliance. O'Neill has held several global product management roles, championing technologies such as electrocoats with high throwpower, or the ability for coatings to be deposited in recessed areas. He also led PPG's Packaging Coatings business through a number of significant BPA-NI (bisphenol-A non-intent) conversions.
